Effect of Household Dynamics on Infant Mortality in the Kassena_Nankana Districts of Rural Northern Ghana, 1999–2018
Factors influencing healthcare workers’ and health system preparedness for the Covid-19 pandemic
Adequate preparedness of health systems, particularly healthcare workers (HCWs), to respond to COVID-19 is critical for the effective control of the virus, especially in low- and middle-income countries where health systems are overburdened. We examined Ghanaian HCWs’ perceived preparedness to respond to the pandemic and the factors that shaped their preparedness and that of the health system. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted wi…
A cluster randomized controlled trial to assess the impact of the ‘Caring for Providers to Improve Patient Experience’ (CPIPE) intervention in Kenya and Ghana
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06085105. Protocol version and date: v2-11-07-23
Examining the Impact of Integrated Obstetric Simulation Training on the Quality of Antenatal Care in Northern Ghana
‘Joy, not sorrow’
Evidence indicates that cash transfers can decrease intimate partner violence (IPV) against women, although most research has focused on women's perspectives and experiences, with less attention to men. We analyzed data from four focus group discussions with male partners of women who participated in the Ghana Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP) 1000 cash transfer program. We elicited men's perceptions of poverty, relationship dynamics,…
Supporting maternal and child nutrition
Objective: Despite efforts to improve maternal and child nutrition, undernutrition remains a major public health challenge in Ghana. The current study explored community perceptions of undernutrition and context-specific interventions that could improve maternal and child nutrition in rural Northern Ghana. Design: This exploratory qualitative study used ten focus group discussions to gather primary data. The discussions were recorded, transcribed…
Adapting a nurse-led primary care initiative to cardiovascular disease control in Ghana
CHPS staff expressed multiple constraints to CVD care, but also cited actions to address them: CVD-focused training, provision of essential equipment and pharmaceuticals, community education campaigns, and referral and outreach transportation equipment. Results attest to the need for trial of these interventions to assess their impact on CVD risk factors such as hypertension, depression, and alcohol abuse
Using social autopsy to understand maternal, newborn, and child mortality in low-resource settings
Addressing the continuum of maternal and newborn care in Ghana
Although the past decade has brought global reductions in maternal, infant and child mortality, many low-resource settings have failed to make significant gains relative to their high-income counterparts. In Ghana, nearly 50% of under-five mortality in 2014 could be attributed to deaths during the first 28 days after birth. This article analyses the data across a mixed-methods study of the factors impacting maternal and neonatal care in northern …
Does the national health insurance scheme in Ghana reduce household cost of treating malaria in the Kassena-Nankana districts
INTRODUCTION: The Government of Ghana introduced the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in 2003 to replace out-of-pocket (OOP) payment for health services with the inherent aim of reducing the direct cost of treating illness to households. OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of the NHIS in reducing cost of treating malaria to households in the Kassena-Nankana districts of northern Ghana. METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey between Oc…
